No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

I was under the general impression that clear glass is less desirable than coloured glass. But I came by a clear glass trinket set on ebay which made quite a bit of money. Am I right in thinking that clear glass isn't worth as much when it comes to the 1930's glass and later?

Perhaps some items were only made in clear glass and that's why it's worth more.

I have a few pieces of this set, but in green, and have been trying to trace it. Unfortunately, the bits I've found so far are also unidentified. I thought this might be the place to solve it : ebay 230097737704.

I'll bear that in mind the next time I see a clear glass dressing table set. Thanks Cathy.

Actually what I wrote was ambiguous - coloured glass in any given pattern will pretty much always sell for more. In general, clear is worth much, much less, but _if_ the pattern is more ornate or special for some reason, i.e. EAPG in a special pattern, or Aus glass with Aus fauna, then clear glass will 'do a little better' than it would if the pattern were boring.
